This tour goes into a desolate desert area of Hurricane Sands. As we make our way up the west trail, the panoramic views are breathtaking. We are headed to the 5000 foot level a top Sand Mountain as we travel around the south rim of the Red Plateau. We drive in and around gorgeous red rock monuments highlighted by orange sand and intense blue skys. We watch for hawks, eagles, and other raptors as they search for prey on the desert floor.
